Installation

Location

Plan for the location of the CB transceiver and microphone bracket before starting the
installation. Select a location that is convenient for operation, yet does not interfere with
the driver or passenger.
The transceiver is usually mounted to the underside of the dash with the microphone
bracket beside it.
NOTE: The transceiver is held in the universal mounting bracket by two thumbscrews
which allow for adjustment to a convenient angle.
The bracket includes two self-tapping screws and star washers. The mounting must be
mechanically strong and conveniently located.

Mounting and Connection

1. Hold the radio with the mounting bracket
in the exact desired location. If there is no
interference, remove the bracket and use
it as a template to mark the location for
the mounting screws.
2. Drill the holes and secure the bracket.
3. Connect the antenna cable plug to the
receptacle marked "ANT" on the back
of the unit.
Installation
NOTE: Before installing the CB radio, visually check the vehicle's battery connection to
determine which terminal is positive or negative. A negatively grounded vehicle has its
negative lead grounded to the chassis.
4. Connect the red lead of the DC power cord
to an accessory 12 volt fuse or directly to
the battery.
NOTE: Connecting to an accessory fuse
prevents the unit from being left on
accidentally, and also permits operating the
unit without running the engine.
5. Connect the black lead to the negative side
of the vehicle electrical system. This is
usually the chassis.
Any convenient location with a good electrical
contact (remove paint) may be used.
6. Plug power cable into back of unit marked
"Power". Be sure to observe polarity
markings.
7. The microphone can be mounted to either
side of the CB using the supplied screws.
Alternatively the microphone can be mounted
to the dash or any convenient location.
